falling pregnant after miscarriage

Share

I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks 1 month ago and had a D & C as the mass was still there. We are TTC and have been since 3 days after the D & C. I have been tracking my ovulation through an ovulation kit but I still haven't had a period since the D & C. How can I track my ovulation accurately if i haven't had my period yet? Why haven't I had a period yet and Is the ovulation kit going to be correct? I'm really confused and desperate to be pregnant again.

The female body is ready to conceive again immediately after a miscarriage. Hormone levels are at their highest, so infertility is reduced and fertility increased. However, for the sake of the female body and reducing the chance of a second miscarriage, many doctors will suggest waiting at least one regular menstrual cycle to increase chances of getting pregnant and maintaining the pregnancy. Other doctors will suggest waiting up to six months to increase chances of getting pregnant without complications.
